Stitch by stitch, putting news together... new headlines, setting up the info bit by bit, making sure to keep in mind my pacing, always gotta keep control of spacing, I'm making the Roundup shiiiiiine.
Minute by minute, fussing over details. Ticking clock, thinking I should be in bed now, instead of being on here singing, oh god why won't this phone please stop ringing, rhyming words is hard.
Hour by hour, one last day, Pony News, such a chaotic game. Sethisto you are putting me in a bind, Cereal tell me what is on your mind? Oh my gosh there is simply not much time, keep pretending everything is fiii-iiii-iiiiine!
Piece by piece. Clip by clip. Merch, Cakes, Crafts, Meetups, Quips. Line by line, do my best, illness looms; always stressed. And that's the... art... of...

Brony Mount and Blade Server
An Australian steam group, 'Aussie Bronies', has created a 64 slot Warband Server for the game Mount and Blade. The name of the server is AuB_Warband. If you're brave enough to run past the 12 poisonous spiney kangaroos to get to the room with you internet in it, go ahead and take a look

Rainbow Dash Comes in the Only Place That Matters at the LA County Fair
Name me one thing better than winning. Ribbons? You got it. The picture's all sideways and junk, but the important piece of information to take away is that there's an awesome drawing of humanized Dashie sitting right next to a big blue ribbon. Enjoy!
E-mail Campaign to be Started Using 'Roleplaying is Magic' RPG system
Kinda what it says on the tin. There's a brony and he's looking for players, and he even wrote his own little copy/paste to advertise. See?
"In a world similar but very different to the equestria we know Earth Ponies are pegasi, Pegasi are unicorns, and unicorns are Earth ponies. And the Sonic Rainboom never happened, instead it was the Rainbow Carona. Send a email to [email protected] if your interested in a email RPG that will be turned into a story based on your exploits using Tall Tails My Little Pony: Roleplaying Is Magic system. https://docs.google.

He's also an op in the Equestria Daily irc (gee, that's coming up a lot today, isn't it?), and every so often takes the time to croon all of the music from Friendship is Magic, streamed for your viewing pleasure. Go here to see where the magic happens, as well as find recordings of previous sessions.
Skype Soundpack for Bronies
Skype is a super awesome program with really boring default sounds. Ponies are really awesome and make noises that are not boring. Do you see where I'm going with this? Here.
MLP Online Releases Trailer, Buries Me in Links
There's a lot of things happening in the online world of ponies and the games that are made to capture their adventures. So go ahead and look at their Facebook page and their website, or just look at the fancy video thingy below:
Idaho Bronies Seek Partners for Bowling Night
Slowly my plans to turn the Nightly Roundup into a dating service are coming to fruition. Actually, a group in the Boise area (I know where that is!) are looking to go bowling and have some pony-related fun times the Friday before episode three comes out. Which is rumored to be the 15th, but we don't know quite yet. But if you live in that area and wan to have some fun, keep checking this Facebook page and keep yourself posted.
Cutie Mark Personality Quiz Explains Certain Equestria Daily In-jokes
Which I will not be explaining here. Anyway, it turns out I'm Rarity. Or I have her cutie mark, or... yeah. There's 17 different results and a series of excessively silly questions (the best kind). What's yours?
Luna Saddlebags Are Awesome, Says Pony
Look, they just are, ok? These are custom made from vegetable tanned leather, using environmentally friendly dye. They are sturdy enough to hold, and I quote, "a book, abacus, astrolabe, large spyglass, a cupcake, a muffin, two apples, and a small water flask at the same time." Go. Gawk.
Chicago Brony Meetup #2 Conclusion/Writeup
So it turns out that ponies in Chicago are a lot more in-depth about this sort of thing then the rest of you. Seriously, they sent in a full letter complete with picture and video. Video! I don't see videos from any of these other conventions/meetups. For shame, ponies. For shame.
Also, check that out here.

Phoe Breaks Into Song Again
It's late and I am tired, wish I could spark a smile.
The place is flying high but right now I want to be low.
Don't want to move an inch, let alone a million miles
And I don't wanna go but I know I gotta go...

So early... yay
VastaKustutaSomeone's gonna do a cover of that song, Phoe. Just watch.
VastaKustutaYay! We saw the MLP Online demo at BroNYCon!
VastaKustutaGreat, now every pony is going to wonder what I am saying to Sketchy on irc to make him laugh.
VastaKustutafrom early morning round up to early nightly round up.
VastaKustutaPhoe deserves a raise for that song. <3
VastaKustutaThat's a pretty neat song you've written there. Me gusta.
VastaKustutaWell done Phoe. Now get some sleep. :D
VastaKustutawoo! rhyming phoe!
VastaKustutaNightly already!?
VastaKustutaArt of The Nightly. Ohohoho, Phoe, you make me laugh so!
VastaKustutaGreat roundup again, there should be at least one Nightly done by Phoe every week or something like that.
I think the lyrics up top trumped most of what came afterwards. Excellent job!
VastaKustutaI'm apparently, Rainbow Bolt: Brave and lives on the edge. Very active and sporty. Fiercely competitive
VastaKustutaExcept I'm not competitive, sporty, active, nor particularly brave.
I had to try out the new quiz, what answers it did bring
VastaKustutaApparently I'm nurse Redheart, since I help everything.
How would I guess they'd put her in? Doesn't matter anywho.
Since now I get to be the doctor, and she is really cuuuuute.
Nightly Roundup, Nightly Rounduuuup!
Where Phoe made news appear.
Nightly Roundup, Nightly Rounduuuuup!
Phoe's chance to sing is here.
Nightly Roundup, Nightly Rounduuuup!
Phoe's chance to sing is here, Phoe's chance to sing is here.
Phoe, I'm being completely serious - you should do the Nightly Roundups more often. I found myself singing along to the lyrics at the top because they were just so awesome. (And I'm a male high school junior who has to wake up five hours from now to go to school. Yet I stay up for the blog and the ponies, because I can't get enough. ^^)
VastaKustutaYay! my saddlebag got in the roundup.
VastaKustutaI just love how an important site like Equestria Daily still takes at heart the quests of single ponies looking for bigger groups. It's so heartwarming.
VastaKustutaStay classy, ponies. Especially you, Phoe. I'm waiting for that last rhyme ;p
Okay, I've got the PS3 sound file downloaded, now can anyone tell me how to install it? I've gone through every option in the home menu three times, but I can't figure it out.
VastaKustutaPhoe! Stop giving me ideas for lyrics for Roundups! I already edited another one back from #19, now by my name and obligation I must write up those lyrics and sing them. I shall call it the Art of the Roundup.
VastaKustuta@HayfeverTX What WERE you saying hmmmmmmmmmmm? :P
Also, I have an uncanny feeling about Ponychats' activity tomorrow after reading this Nightly. I shall get my shotgun ready prepare for the worst.
Personality quiz? Why the heck not?
VastaKustutaOoh, I got Luna's cutie mark, the moon!
"Introverted and shy. Prefers the peace and quiet. Has a dark side."
Very True! (Especially the dark side part. Heh heh heh.)
Hmm, so I'm Twilight's cutie mark.
VastaKustuta"Witty and very bright. Loves to learn and explore. Inventor of clever ideas."
Okay, sure. I guess I can see that.
News and a song too? Whilst being deathly ill and defying sleep?
VastaKustutaSetting the bar pretty high for when seth returns, eh? Gonna be tough for him to match that.
I now want to find out what Phoe's singing voice sounds like.
VastaKustutaWoot! Medic cutie mark
VastaKustutaGotta check all these when I get back home XD so much pony right now, I can't hold it!
VastaKustuta@ChaosDX1 same here, wanna go fück stuff up?
VastaKustutaDo you not like the style?
VastaKustutaThe style's fine, Phoe, just make the whole thing, you know, earlier.
The Roundup needs to be about 20% earlier
All we ever want is information
All us bronies like this girl's show
Gotta balance artwork with fan fiction
Making sure you feed our big addiction
Even if you simply just reblog it
Please don't store it up and hog it
Got to overcome this need for sleeping
The fandom hopes this style you're keeping!
Personality quiz.... *takes*
VastaKustutaResult: Twilight Sparkle "Witty and very bright. Loves to learn and explore. Inventor of clever ideas."
totally expected that. describes me near perfectly just add "views sarcasm as the highest form of humor" to that description and you have me.
and I'm not being sarcastic.
I will never again read a Seth Nightly Round Up.
VastaKustutaIf i had much artistic skill, i would model one of my belongings after luna like that.......
VastaKustutaalso, for the cutiemark personality quiz, i got lotus o.O not what i was expecting. but then again, i don't know who to compare myself to best. my personality is as random is pinkie pie is. some days (even hours) im like one pony then pretty soon im somepony else.
who did everyone else get?
HORSEAPPLES! How come I didn't know about the Chicago meetup? I wouldve given a kneecap for it. =|
VastaKustutaPhoe, y u so awesome?
VastaKustutaI got Rainbow Dash's cutie mark.
VastaKustutaShe's got the coolest one imo.
That test thingy managed to get my cutie mark right, but I don't particularly like the part about 'has a dark side'.
VastaKustutaI just want to put that behind me. Far, far FAR behind me.
And I couldn't see my saddle bags. All I saw was an empty list.
I got the Sparkle cutie mark. Yay books!
VastaKustutaAutor on selle kommentaari eemaldanud.
VastaKustutaI got Lotus Blossom, it fits me. I think.
VastaKustutaAnd today, MLP:FiM starts airing on Swedish television. :3 To bad I don't have the channel on my tv. :(
VastaKustutaAnd Phoe, that was super cute. Keep being awesome, Brony.
VastaKustutaNice one Phoe :)
VastaKustutaHmm... I vary a bit on a few questions from that quiz, though apparently my first go says I got Cheerilee's flowers cutie mark (Honest and open, supportive, kind & nurturing). I guess the base attributes are mostly similar to me, hope that doesn't involve anything with kids though. Really wasn't expecting to get hers... O_o
Second time gave me Lotus, now the traits listed for hers I can agree with much more.
@Laurence Brown That is most definitely making it into the full lyrics!
VastaKustuta@Dream_Snake Which channel?
VastaKustuta@Dream_Snake Nevermind, I think I found it - I'm guessing Boomerang. And it's the same here in Norway (probably all of scandinavia) apparently. Awesome!
VastaKustuta@Lunasta, the magical wakeup pill
VastaKustutaIf you plan on adding Laurence Brown's lyrics in I'd suggest fixing some of the lines to match with the original better
"All us bronies that like THIS girl's show"
"Please don't store it up and DON'T YOU hog it"
"This fandom hopes IT'S this style THAT you're keeping"
I got the Moon for my cutie mark: Introverted and shy. Prefers the peace and quiet. Has a dark side.
VastaKustutaYep, that's me. See Luna, we were made to rule together.
I got pinkie's cutie mark...Its weird, she's my fav character and I've been getting her as my personality for all the personality quizzes I have taken.
VastaKustutaSorry, Phoe. You can't top 'Rarity IS Industry', you just can't.
VastaKustutaThis Nightly Roundup is more Morning Roundup than last night's Morning Roundup.
Yay for another Aussie Bronies mention! :D
VastaKustutaI got butterflies. *u*
VastaKustutaOne thing to note for M&B Warband players- we're running the Persistant World mod, latest release. Why? Well, how else is the Solar Empire supposed to tackle the Luna Republic while the Fluttershy Nation acts like Switzerland with free healthcare for all?
VastaKustuta@Fallin' Winter Of course. I'll edit in. I know that not everything fits in perfectly the first time.
VastaKustuta@Forb.Jok
VastaKustutaAwesome indeed. :3
I don't know why anyone would want the exclamation points over writing like this. (I love Phoe's roundups.)
VastaKustutaAt least we know Phoe, If this place ever closes, You could have a great career as a parody song writer.
VastaKustutaMLP online is really coming along nicely, isn't it. Its really going to be awesome. I've never been this excited for a MMO before.
I got Twilight's cuite mark. To be fair, I wasn't expecting anything different. I always seem to end up with her in these quizzes.
And this is why we love you Phoe. Now go get some sleep as I get ready for work!
VastaKustutaThat song is nothing short of a masterpiece.
VastaKustutaI like personality tests, but I don't think it's a very good one, it's pretty obvious what choices will lead to what pony/cutie mark.
VastaKustutaNice Nightly Roundup, as always~
VastaKustutaWell well. Looks like I'll soon have another Equestria Daily parody to sing. :D
VastaKustutaI'm really pleased to see my stream mentioned here at last ^^
Hey Phoe! You need to sleep! Also, we apparently have the same Cutie Mark.
VastaKustutaOh. And about the saddlebag. It just showed me my fanfic spreadsheet, and yes, I did gawk.
We love you, Phoe! It's already 20% cooler, in a good way. :3
VastaKustutaI wasn't really following MLP Online before but I think I'll start, it's lookin' pretty cool. Also, I ended up with Vinyl's mark... I'm just going to pretend I got Octavia's.
VastaKustuta@CharginChuck
VastaKustutaHello! I am the one who created the PS3 boot sounds. Make sure you check the read me file I have included.
@Sun Ray
VastaKustutaThe boot sound tutorial is included in the download. Also, I have already set them up so they are ready to use. No need for 10 programs.
I have the song all lyric-ed up, just gotta get recording done later today. It should be up before the next Roundup :P
VastaKustutaJust a quick heads up. I am the one who made the boot sounds. Make sure you see Untitled.rtf in the download for instructions and your PS3 needs to be jailbroken.
VastaKustutaI love Phoe.
VastaKustutaI'm Trixie, according to the cutie mark...
VastaKustutaSecret: I was trying to get Doctor Whoof.
I got DJ Pon-3's musical note cutie mark. 'Cool and smoooooth. Speaks from the soul. Goes to the beat of their own drum.'
VastaKustutaAnd I think your 'Art of the Roundup' song put the rest of the roundup to shame. lol Only a matter of time before we see a PMV for it.
That song . . . It's Face Up! From Lights! One of the best singers ever! Great song.
VastaKustutaPhoe why are you so godlike!
VastaKustutaCandy cane as cutie mark. Works for me.
VastaKustutaAnd uh... Phoe? Can you put horizontal line after every news? You know,
. It's not a big deal but it's easier to read that way.
Pretty pleaseeee.
wow, it looks like it ate HTML tag
VastaKustutaIt was supposed to be a "< br > after "You know,"
I'm derpy :(
VastaKustutaA brony meetup in MY Idaho?! And here I thought I would have to venture out to Washington or Oregon for one of these...
VastaKustutaI Vote Phoe Sings "Art of the Roundup" on the next Q&Neigh... Who's with me!
VastaKustutaCome here! Come all and gawk at the awesome cutie-mark The Great and Powerfull GerBrony1 got: Magic Wand
VastaKustuta(Yes, TG&PG aimed for this cutie mark, but that only shows his awesomeness)
@Dee
VastaKustutaHello, I'm gato and I approve of this message.
Phoe, you are epic. EPIC. Thanks so much for plugging away for us, and hang in there! :D
VastaKustutaA Twilight Sparkle drawing winning fifth would have been even more entertaining.
VastaKustutaHahaha Phoe I love you. That song was boss. I concur with everyone saying your should sing that at the next Q&Neigh.
VastaKustutaHuh. I got Scratch's cutie mark. I guess thats cool.
There should be a special site for bronies to post profiles and find other bronies in their area.
VastaKustutaI am also looking into that Brony meetup in Nevada, I hope that we can make it work.
VastaKustutaDefinitely gonna be in my ponywear.
Also, MLP game! Yay!
Something odd... the link in the Luna Saddlebags just sent me to the list of google doca I've read.
VastaKustutaPhoe, that song was AWESOME! *Waits patiently for somepony to do a cover of said song*
VastaKustuta~ Magical Trevor, Minstrel of Equestria
@MaximillianVeers
VastaKustutaYou raise that salary by 5%, and I'll be happy.
Also, I didn't know people actually lived Idaho. I just thought people flew in from Washington for potatoes.
Omg, best round,up, and guna,miss thease phoe round ups!>.<
VastaKustutaDang, Phoe. Your Nightly Roundups have so much many more words than Seth's. Like reading a short story sometimes. :P
VastaKustutaYay, humanized Dashie won first place. They couldn't deny humanized Dash was awesome. :)
Skype sound set. That's kinda interesting. I'm going to give this sound pack a try. Ponies could certainly make Skype even better!
That MLP Online trailer was very very cool. Love it. Can't wait for this game to finally be finished. It's going to be great. And it's going to have some obscene number of Bronies playing it, almost certain of that. :D
Those Luna saddlebags are indeed awesome. Of course they would have to hold some abacus's. :P
And then Phoe was a singer... again. lol
I got the Sun, therefore I'm Celestia.
VastaKustutaI guess that makes sense: orderly, bureaucratic, kind, and helpful, yet simultaneously a horrible, horrible person/pony.
Fluttershy. I can work with that. *stare*
VastaKustutaThat was actually very clever. I really really really liked it and yes, I sung it in my head and it sounded fine.
VastaKustutaI got a candy cane mark! *yay*
VastaKustutaI got Twilight's cutie mark.
VastaKustuta:D I wanna attempt doing Phoe's song!
VastaKustutaXD I'll try to make the next video for On A Cross and Arrow as fast as I can!
I love Phoe being Phoe. It makes my day.
VastaKustutaLotus.

@Sketchy Sounds
VastaKustutaI have written a bunch of parody songs, just not sure where to post them, tried sending them in to EQD but they said it would get to spammy if they started another area for such.
I am sorry the link to the saddle bags seems to not be working for some ponies. let me try posting a different one here.
VastaKustutahttps://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0
Lol. Us Colorado Bronies had video in our NDK write-up, Phoe! But I guess it was Seth that posted that one for us... But anyway, I love how you're writing these in a news headline kind of style!
VastaKustuta...I got Derpy's cutie mark on the quiz...wtf...
VastaKustutaI got Luna's cutiemark. That makes me kinda happy. I really do hope Luna is let out of her hasbro inflicted shell sooner than later.
VastaKustutaPhoe's back! And she's singing! And so are the comments. Also, love those saddlebags.
VastaKustutaI got the mark of the best unicorn: Twilight Sparkle.
VastaKustutaAlso, it claims I love to learn and explore (this is definitely true) and that I am witty, bright and full of clever ideas (this is hopefully true.)
*takes personality quiz*
VastaKustutaHmm, I ended up getting Luna's cutie mark... Yeah, I can see that. It fits me, I think.
@GWGV
VastaKustutaYeah, the Idaho event it's being put together by my friends and I! :)
Love the LIGHTS song at the bottom <3
VastaKustutaI see only 2 other people ended up with Vinyl's cutie mark... I have no idea how I ended up with mine, but it's cool.
VastaKustutaPhoe, +5 Brony points for the song!
@Luna Epona
VastaKustutaPM me in the IRC some time.
I got a candy cane cutie mark! Sweet and friendly... that's me for sure! I see only one other person got a candy cane cutie mark, so that's cool. But as we all know my real cutie mark is an orange.
VastaKustutaLIGHTS! Phoe you're awesome <3 Lights is amazing
VastaKustutaThat Skype sound pack was pretty cool.
VastaKustutaAlso, those Chicago Bronies are pretty dedicated. Props to whoever was there :)
LOL took the cutie mark quiz and i have more in common with Derpy then i thought
VastaKustutaBubbles
Daydreamer. Friendly and loveable. Can be airheaded.
thank uoy to who ever thought that one up
Poor Phoe ^^;;;
VastaKustutaAnd the quiz is accurate. I got Sparkle :D
Huh. I got luna in the quiz. I was expecting twilight but owell.
VastaKustutaAccording to that quiz, my cutie mark is the same as Twilight's.
VastaKustutaAwesome intro, interesting news and apparently I'm like Luna, I can totally accept that xD
VastaKustutaPhoe's roundups are still so awesome....
VastaKustuta
